In a glittering function held on Oct 23 at the Multipurpose Hall of UCSI Campus, the Malaysian Minister of Higher Education Dato' Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin unveiled UCSI as a full-fledged univesity. UCSI University, as it will be called, now stands tall among the elite few private universities in Malaysia.

Here is a newspaper report on the official function.

Apart from her current campuses in Taman Connaught, Taman Tynton View, Marang, and Kuching, UCSI University is also constructing a 160 acres main campus in the Negeri Sembilan "Knowledge Valley" at Bandar Springhill.

It will also feature a centre dedicated to continuous research into Blue Ocean Strategy, an incubation centre for UCSI's subsidiaries and R&D spin-off companies, an applied nursery for research, and commercial facilities for the green industry to promote eco-tourism in Malaysia and the inclusion of facilities for Marine Biology studies.
